Shadow Behind the Moon
Jun Robles Lana : 2015
Anino sa likod ng buwan
The armed conflict between the Philippine military and the communist resistance at the beginning of the 1990s forms the backdrop to this study of three individuals who, for different reasons, are trying to resolve an untenable situation. A married couple spends the night playing cards with a military man, sitting in their ramshackle hut surrounded by woods. The trio is bound by a friendship which they have managed to foster after the soldier's relocation to the area. Yet, as dawn gradually approaches, hidden nuances of their mutual relationships, as well as unspoken secrets and lies, start coming to the surface. Jun Robles Lana's feature premiered in competition at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2015.
